Coven sonically and especially (lyrically) illustrates a spiritual quest and the wish of death - death to a mundane world of moral laws and social conventions and shallow existences. It comprises a whole cast of characters - an actual dramatis personae, in the manner of a traditional play - whose innermost thoughts and outermost deeds are given life by the devilish throat of CULTES DES GHOULES. Each of the five songs is a whole "act" in itself, travelling across tension and cresting to high drama. Suitably, the music follows in kind, encompassing the band's trademark teeth-gnashing gnarliness to more dynamic - and, yes, dramatic - iterations of what were mere sonic suggestions in past, particularly in swaggering Sabbathian groove.

Their 2010 album now re-issued as a GOLD DISC in a noble digipak with a bonus live disc from 1992. Also includes Once Removed Savior (Disease Infested Cunts Of Dead Nuns, previously only available on the vinyl LP.

From the swamping lands of Finland death/grind trio Galvanizer emerges with their debut album "Sanguine Vigil".

Galvanizer have quickly become one of the most promising underground acts around, their old school approach perfectly combines with their youthful energy and their sound will perfectly please both fans of old school finnish death metal and modern deathgrind sounds.

"Expect the same primitive finnish grinding death madness but this time much more faster and brutal!" (Aleksi Vähämäki)

De Doden Hebben het Goed is Wiegedood’s debut album, but we can hardly call this a debuting band. The band members have already proven their worth in other acts like Amenra, Oathbreaker, Hessian, Rise and Fall… This is surely an interesting gathering of musicians that immediately raises high expectations. And they deliver. Big time. Against all expectations, the result of this collaboration has nothing to do with post metal, sludge or hardcore. In stead, Wiegedood treats us to a relentless onslaught of atmospheric black metal. The title De Doden Hebben het Goed covers the album perfectly: it’s a very bleak take on extreme metal music, but never loses touch with the band members’ other projects.

Kröwnn plays an old school oriented doom metal, stylisticallyclose to the member's favourite bands of the genre. Lyrics are based on the fantasy worlds created by great authors such as Howard, Moorcock, Tolkien and Martin.

Expect no typical doom metal here eerie listeners, this album isn't just a bunch of recycled Black Sabbath riffs, Acid Witch have crafted their own sound that sounds like no other band now or from the past. Their influences melt together like wax from black candles on an age-old satanic ritual. The production is warm and heavy, yet raw and filthy. All lyrics, art, layout, writing & recording was done by the band themselves, bringing back a punk D.I.Y. attitude the underground is missing nowadays.

Comes in a Gatefold cover with a large 18"x24" poster of the cover artwork and an old school Acid Witch Halloween die-cut decoration similar to the spooky die-cuts of the 60s, 70s and 80s.

In the vein of early pioneers of traditional Death Metal, like early MORBID ANGEL, early DEICIDE, early GOREFEST, DEMIGOD, CONVULSE, AUTOPSY, early GRAVE, GORGUTS... thinking also to KAAMOS and SLUGATHOR...!!!

Lyric sheet included, Featuring a NEW exclusive track for the vinyl version.

Darkened, dissonant and furious black metal explorations converge in this 35 minutes debut. 5 tracks from the EP plus a bonus track! “Let’s make one thing clear. We need to stress the fact that our era is lost in a huge void of numbness. We are here to bring and present you what your system could not solve by itself. We’ll cover the daylight with ashes and smash the massive skull that’s blocking your brain and will to evolve. We’re GAEREA.”
